Perfidious Proverbs & Other Poems: A Satirical Look at the Bible

By: Philip Appleman

Foreword by Dan Barker

This collection of satirical poems homes in on the inconsistencies and downright perversities of what passes in our culture as "Holy Writ." Turning to satire, with its long and distinguished record of exposing folly and bringing enlightenment through humor, the author leaves no doubt that primitive religion posing as eternal truth is just the sort of folly that satire is meant to correct.
